Something we do not hear very often is that Mariano Rivera has blown a game. This afternoon at Yankee Stadium that actually happened . The Yankees brought in their best closer in the game, they thought, tied 2-2 with the Oakland A's. Today shows you that Rivera is a pitcher who can be hit. With one inning pitched and a total of 23 pitches he allowed 2 hits and 1 earned run. For Fantasy owners, that is a killer day. His ERA in a yahoo league is at nine and his whip at two, the only good thing that Rivera did for your stats is he struck out three batters. The Yankees tied the game up in the bottom of the ninth with a single from Wilson Betemit that scored Robinson Cano who had doubled to start the inning. For owners of Rivera, do not worry about him he will get his saves. Come on! He plays for the New York Yankees, the luckiest team in Baseball.
